UFC middleweight fighter Reinier de Ridder has expressed his interest in facing former division champion Sean Strickland in his next appearance inside the octagon.
This declaration comes shortly after De Ridder secured a victory by knockout over Bo Nickal on May 4th at UFC on ESPN 67.
Quoted by Full Send MMA on X, De Ridder stated his reasoning:
“I just beat the best American wrestler. Now I want to beat the best American striker — Sean Strickland.”
